Grossman Vs. Orton--Forte Vs. "the other" Adrian Peterson

Question

So Kyle Orton got the nod for starting Thursdays pre season game, team says not to read into it....hmmmm. Rex had a horrible practice at Soldier field, which leads me to believe he is still a big question mark on which Rex will show up. But for some strange reason I think Rex should be the starter, I wish we had picked up a proven vet in the off season.....your thoughts??

Everything I have seen about rookie Matt Forte has ben good, he has great instincts, fast, evasive etc etc...however I feel Adrian Peterson should get the starting nod over Forte. I feel that Forte should learn the offense better, before thrown in as a starting back in the NFL. I am sure Lovie & Co. will play the player that gives them the best chance to win........your thoughts???

Answer 1

Rex Grossman is the reincarnation of Dave Krieg.  Hot and cold.  Sit him on the bench.  Peterson has the goods.  He needs to start.

Answer 2

Yeah, I agree that Rex should still be the QB. I'm not sure whether its his experience or his good looks or for some other reason, but I still think he can be good.

As for the RB situation. I also believe that they should start Adrian Peterson over Matt Forte, or give him equal reps during pre-season or even regular season, and after that based on their performances, then choose the season starter for the rest of the games.

Hopefully our O-Line will be a lot better this year which will make both of these positions a lot better in my opinion.

Answer 3

i think the bears should look into signing daunte culpepper he isnt great but hes better than grossman and orton (i think) and i agree with you about forte he is doing good so far but he should learn the offense before he gets out on the field
